The Respiratory‐Chain NADPH Dehydrogenase ofAzotobacter vinelandii

Abstract: I. NADPH dehydrogenase activity of Azotobacter vinelandii respiratory membranes is inhibited by adenine nucleotides (pure competitive inhibition; AMP>ADP>ATP) and by NAD+ (partially competitive, allosteric inhibition). No allosteric activators, other than NADPH, were found for this enzyme.2. The dehydrogenase exhibits kinetic properties compatible with the presence of a catalytic site, which binds one molecule of NADPH (or one molecule of adenine nucleotide), and an apparently acid-sensitive, site (or sites) w… Show more

“…In the course of genetic transformation experiments, it was noted that A. vinelandii UW frequently produced rifampin-resistant (Rif) transformants of various colony sizes when transformed with A. vinelandii 113 DNA. When these colonies were left at room temperature for approximately 1 week, the variations in colony size persisted, but some of the large colony transformants had a sectored appearance. These sectored colonies had distinct white rays within the normal pinkish tan A. vinelandii cell mass.…”

“…Since highly aerobic conditions lead to the "switching-off' of nitrogenase [4, 51 and hence to an increased availability of NADPH for oxidation via the non-phosphorylating NADPH dehydrogenase [8], excess oxygen clearly promotes the utilisation of respiratory pathways of relatively low energy conservation efficiency in A. vinelandii.…”

“…This protein catalyzes the reversible transfer of hydrogen between NAD(P)H and NAD(P)+; it has a flavine adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor, and, although its minimal molecular weight is 60,000, it forms aggregates whose sedimentation coefficients are 24, 48, and 88S (164). This respiratory regulating enzyme in combination with the membrane-bound NADH (127,163) and NADPH dehydrogenases (1,120) controls the NAD(P)H to NAD(P)+ ratios in the cell.…”
